North Kingstown Golf Course

Great course, but staff behavior was unacceptable. While the course itself was in excellent condition and enjoyable to play, the experience was severely impacted by the grounds crew. For FIVE consecutive holes, we had to yell at the crew to move out of the fairway so we could hit. They were consistently about 200 yards out—well within driving range—and showed no urgency or awareness, even after multiple attempts to get their attention. We understand that course maintenance is essential, but it’s basic etiquette and common sense to avoid standing in the middle of the fairway while players are hitting. We raised the issue with the pro shop afterward, but their response was dismissive and indifferent, which was disappointing.

Nice course but the staff's behavior was disappointing. It was the first time our foursome had played the course (we've been searching for a quality "home course") and it took us a little longer to read each hole than normal. We finished our round in exactly 4 hours and were hassled by the staff for slow pace of play, even asking us to pick up and move on for one of the holes while we were putting. The group behind us displayed very poor etiquette, driving over our heads while we were in the fairway, but never attempted to talk to us about playing through. 4 hours, to me, is a very standard time to play 18 holes of golf, and it's disappointing that a younger generation is viewed with derision at a public golf course. I understand the old timers who have played the course countless times may be faster and am happy to accommodate them, but will not be returning because of the negative way the staff treated our group. Very disappointed.

2nd year, our company, DAI Restore, sponsored and worked at this stunning golf course during golf tournament here. Staff was extremely helpful and delightful to deal with 2 years. Hank ckecked in to see if we needed anything. Beautiful golf course, clean, organized, and good food. Steaks could have been cooked more, but staff was responsive in addressing issues to accommodate requests. Hope the tournament is held here again, I will certainly volunteer here again!
